Chapter 645 Family Fun and Jazz Rewards Will Be Won!
When he returned straight from the palace to the Xing'an Hou Mansion in Wu'an Hou Hutong, Xu Xun found that many people were quietly looking at him on the road. However, the guards of honor who were shouting in front of them prevented these people with different purposes from getting close to him.
It was clear that what happened at the court today would cause an uproar if word spread. However, he didn't really care, or he was even waiting for the strong backlash with some malice.
The emperor handed the butcher's knife to Zhang Cai, and Zhang Cai was a first-class smart man. He would definitely control the purge to a certain extent, and he would definitely set up a large number of model officials as role models and exemplars, and at the same time wipe out a large number of people.
People who only know how to shout and do not know how to govern and do not understand practice use this to implement their purpose of being strict when inspecting officials. Of course, this kind of huge shock is definitely not acceptable to people who are accustomed to routines and laws. I think Yang Yiqing must still
Before arriving in the capital, many relatives and friends would flock to him. If Yang Yiqing was smart, he would know that this was indeed a good opportunity to unite his old friends, as long as it was not excessive.
There are two parties competing with each other in the court, and they have restrictions on each other. Although they are restrained in doing things, it is not necessarily a bad thing, as long as the emperor can suppress it. At Zhu Houzhao's age, the young emperor has plenty of time and plenty of free time.
There are checks and balances on power. At least, when one party dominates, the leader will not be so used to being in power that he will become self-willed and self-centered. Then when he is overpowered by others, he will be violently liquidated. When he overwhelms others, he will be madly liquidated.
He then counterattacked and calculated... This goes on and on without stopping. Of course, this is just his wishful thinking, but the situation has reached this point. He can already withdraw a little!
Fortunately, the Ming Dynasty had a good system in which nobles did not intervene in political affairs. He was a model of always abiding by the rules!
"Master, here we are, we are home!"
Xu Xun came back from those thoughts and saw that he was passing the door of Wu'an Hou's Mansion. Although the boy on the door lowered his hands and lowered his head, he could clearly see that many people were peeking at him.
He smiled and gave the horse a hard blow on the buttocks with the riding crop, and suddenly accelerated to the door of his house. Seeing that Jin Liu was startled by his sudden appearance, he nodded slightly and rode straight into the door. Following the corridor
After walking for a while, when he was approaching the second door, he suddenly heard a voice.
"Mother, mother..."
The clear voice of the child made Xu Xun suddenly stunned. Then he didn't care about anything else. He picked up his fingers on the horse and started counting. He realized that his daughter was now more than one year old. If he moved quickly, he would be already.
When he was able to speak, he immediately felt a deep sense of regret. Children grow the fastest when they are one or two years old, and they often change their appearance within ten or twenty days. This time he went out twice in a row.
After a few months, I actually missed the child's first voice.
"Yes, Qionghua, be good. It's enough to just call me mother, but don't call me father. He'll be so angry that he's such a bad guy who abandons our mother and son when there's nothing wrong!"
"Well said, let's ignore that bad guy! Qionghua, call grandpa and come and listen?"
"Yeah...yeah..."
"Okay, the girl is so good!"
Hearing the approaching sound, Xu Xun couldn't help but take a breath. Then he shook his head helplessly. After turning the horse around the corner, he immediately saw a bright red shirt holding a baby in his arms.
Shen Yue, who was wearing pink makeup and bright red, was standing there. Xu Liang's gray hair, which used to look very dazzling to him, now looked gentle and soft under the sun because it was neatly combed.
After only a moment of hesitation, he immediately jumped off his horse and strode up.
"Dad, Yue'er, I'm back."
These familiar words made Xu Liangyou's tense expression immediately relax. Although the already quite old Xing'an Marquis wanted to continue to maintain the face of a strict father, he had never had that experience, especially when Xu Xun deliberately Under the flattering eyes with a playful smile, he could only snort helplessly: "Every time you go out, something earth-shattering will happen. You know how to make everyone in the family tremble!"...
"It's just a small matter, it's over in a moment, how can you say that it's scary?" Xu Xun smiled, but suddenly he saw a black shadow in front of him. When he looked again, it was Shen Yue who took advantage of his distraction. He directly held his daughter in front of him. The little guy stared at him with big black eyes for a long time. Suddenly he stretched out his hand and clawed at his face. Unexpectedly, he was hit on the forehead. Give it a heavy blow.
"Hahaha, this little guy is very strong. Every time she trims her nails, several people have to work hard. This time, she didn't trim her nails, but you, the father, suffered." Xu Liang looked at the red mark on Xu Xun's forehead and couldn't help laughing for a moment, "Even if it's a small retribution for you, a father, to leave your daughter behind for so long, why don't you hurry up and bring Qionghua over?"
The first contact with his daughter after returning home for a long time made Xu Xun frightened for a moment. However, facing the dark pupils that now looked a bit like his own, he finally cautiously reached out and held out those dark pupils. The little soft child was held in his arms. Seeing Xu Ning's well-behaved appearance, neither crying nor fussing, he could hardly believe that the cruel attack just now came from such a young lady who now looked extremely demure, and immediately couldn't bear it. He kissed him on the cheek.
"Qionghua, call daddy and come and listen?"
In Xu Xun's expectant eyes, Xu Ning looked around. First she looked at her mother, who accompanied her day and night. Seeing that she nodded slightly, she immediately turned to Xu Liang in confusion and saw Xu Liang smiling at her. After waving her hand, she turned back to the person she had just grabbed hard. After staring at Xu Xun for a long time, she seemed to remember the strange feeling on her face just now. It was not so much a kiss, but more like using saliva. Half of Xu Xun's face was blurred, and then he chuckled again.
This kind of treatment simply made Xu Xun dumbfounded. However, after taking the handkerchief handed over by Shen Yue with a smile and wiping his face, he saw that Xu Ning in his hand was looking around cheerfully, making unconscious sounds such as "yay" and "yay" in his mouth. He was still overjoyed. He entered the second gate side by side with his father and wife. He kept answering their questions about the south, but more of his attention was focused on Xu Ning in his hands. It was not that he had never hugged him before. My daughter, because of this, I can truly feel that the little guy is a lot heavier than before, and his body is stronger. Even the way he turns his head, blinks and smiles is completely different from before.
"Fortunately, you changed your clothes during the night in the palace yesterday, otherwise I wouldn't dare let you touch the child with your dusty appearance." When Xu Liang was about to get married, the father sighed, and then He opened his mouth and said, "Typhoid fever was prevalent in the capital in the past two months. Yue'er and I were worried that Qionghua would contract the disease. Next door, the new fat boy in the Wu'an Marquis Mansion died like this. Fortunately, she was blessed with great fortune. , and finally peace and quiet.”
Xu Xun's heart tightened when he heard that Xu Ning in his hands didn't know anything. He was still waving his little hands vigorously, and even gently grabbed his hair. He couldn't help but realize that this was just a cold. The Ming Dynasty, which could take away people's lives, is not the modern society where hospitals are everywhere and drips are everywhere. With fear in his heart, he remembered that although he went to the Wenhua Palace after bathing and changing clothes this morning, he couldn't help but move his head back slightly.
"I kissed you just now, why are you hiding now?" Shen Yue said angrily, hearing Xu Ning Yiyi for a while and calling her mother twice, while Xu Xun's face was full of depression, she couldn't help but smile. He said quietly, "Who told you to go out to do your important things when she was just getting to know someone? If you didn't cry when you hugged her, that would have given you a lot of face. Last time my godmother came to see her, That is to say, after not seeing each other for more than ten days, she cried shamelessly for a full quarter of an hour, and her voice was extremely loud.”….
Xu Xun was slightly comforted after hearing this. However, seeing Xu Ning twisting and turning in his hand, he could only give it to Xu Liang who stretched out his hand involuntarily. After seeing his father hugging the child, he immediately let it go. The child pinched his face, pulled out his beard, and even ruffled his gray hair. He couldn't help but feel a chill on his back.
"Has this little aunt always been like this?"
"With you not here, it would be almost impossible to coax her to sleep at night. Daddy often goes into battle to take her with him. Over time, it has become like this."
Shen Yue glanced at Xu Xun half-smilingly, loving and hating her daughter's temper. However, after hearing Xu Ning call out "Grandpa" in Xu Liang's hands twice, and then two more "Baby" sounds. , she still couldn't help but smile. When she entered the house with Xu Xun, she suddenly felt a hand grabbing her. When she looked up, she saw Xu Xun's face was serious and he was looking straight at it. She couldn't help but think of him from the past to the present. I have always been so good at pretending to be affectionate, and I don’t know how many people I have deceived.
After entering the house, although Xu Liang initially refused, Xu Xun saluted his father again. When he stood up, he went to the inner room to wash his face, and then took off the marquis crown he had just worn in the Wenhua Palace. He put on an old home clothes, black cloth shoes, and only used a simple cloth to tie his hair. He looked like an ordinary young man who had not yet reached his prime. After sitting down leisurely on the chair, he seemed to be chatting away. He said in a homely manner: "Dad, Yue'er, I guess after a while the mess is sorted out, I will be promoted again."
The family happiness just now made Xu Liang and Shen Yue feel relaxed. Therefore, when Xu Xun spoke so leisurely and freely, they thought it was nothing important. However, after understanding the meaning of these words, not only Shen Yue Startled, even Xu Liang couldn't help but take a breath.
"Are you going to be promoted again? You are already the Zuo Governor of the Zuo Army Governor's Mansion. If you are promoted to the Central Army Governor's Mansion, Baoguo Gong will be driven out by you... By the way, I almost forgot, even if you are flat this time The rebellion is quick, but the military merit is still there. It is inevitable to be promoted to the nobility. Do you want to be promoted to the Duke of the country? This time, it is impossible because of father and son. Otherwise, we will not be able to have two Dukes in the family? "
